Pool Chlorinator

There are many ways to chlorinate an above ground pool.  I use a basic blue floating chlorinator filled with a few three inch tablets.

It is very important with an above ground pool to never let the chemicals come in direct contact with the liner.  If I let my pool chlorinator run out of tablets I always have a supply of granular chlorine on hand.  I pour the chlorine directly into the skimmer.  That gives the pool a quick boost of chlorine.  I then refill the chlorinator and am good for another week or so.  During the summer months I find it very helpful to add a bag or two of vinyl shock treatment to the pool every couple of weeks.  Below are examples of pool chlorinators.  Click the images for more product information.
